Before we find out what's in a Michigan inmate care package, I thought it would help to compare what goes into a military care package.

Several organizations send military care packages to our service men and women who are stationed around the world. It's not just Christmas time that these go out. Below is a list of items recommended:
- Socks
- Toiletries
- Lip Balm
- Sunscreen
- Hand Sanitizer
- Baby Wipes
- Snacks
- Single Serving Drink Mixes
- Playing Cards
- Books or Magazines
- Puzzles
- Pens
- Sewing Kits
I'm sure you can think of other items but check with a military organization to find out if anything is restricted because there are different rules in other parts of the world.

What's Inside a Michigan Inmate Care Package?
A poster on the Detroit Reddit page wanted to send a man a care package to the Wayne County Jail but noticed there were food options but no personal hygiene packages listed. Below is what Michiganders suggested:
Since tobacco is considered contraband in Michigan jails and prisons Ramen noodles are the item of choice. Prisoners use them as currency.
This Reddit poster seems to know how the system works.
I think jails and prisons do not want people mailing packages to keep out contraband. Below are items that can be purchased through the jail or prison for Michigan inmates:
